UPWING ENERGY AWARDED 10 NEW PATENTS.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has awarded 10 new patents to Upwing Energy for critical enabling technologies in the company's downhole rotating tools and proprietary methods used to increase hydrocarbon production and recovery.

Upwing Energy has made some intriguing leaps forward in terms of new technology invention in downhole rotating devices, including its Subsurface Compressor System (SCS) and Magnetic Drive System (MDS). The USPTO granted seven patents related to Upwing's SCS, a downhole compressor system, and three patents related to Upwing's MDS, a reliable and retrievable drive system for downhole pumps.

The SCS is a high-speed downhole compressor system driven by a magnetically levitated permanent magnet (PM) motor that increases gas production and recoverable reserves by enabling greater drawdown close to the well perforations.

The three new patents cover certain aspects of Upwing's artificial lift systems, which underpin key elements of the MDS protector-less technology.

The MDS is a drive system for electric submersible pumps (ESPs) with hermetically sealed electrical components for greater reliability and a connection-less mechanical string for greater retrievability via slickline. The protector- less design includes a permanent magnet motor that also acts as a magnetic...
